This fall the 1985 CLARION staff was faced
with the annual dilemma of choosing a theme
for the yearbook. But how does one go about
summing up a whole year before it has even
begun? Cartoons, music, and menu were among
our suggestions but when some intelligent editor
suggested "Novel” we emerged from darkness.
Here’s why.
Most obviously "Novel" reflects the out¬
standing students and curriculum at U-High. For
a number of our classes, Shakespeare, Contem¬
porary Literature and Masterpieces, reading is
the core of the curriculum. Other classes such as
American Literature and AP English read clas¬
sics such as HUCKELBERRY FINN and
FRANKENSTEIN to supplement their texts.
Most notably, U-High offers a unique program
called "Time Out For Reading." For a full week
each quarter an hour a day is reserved for free
reading. Many students carry this one step fur¬
ther and read frequently on their own time. Thus,
our staff deemed "Novel" appropriate in this
sense.
Novel has another meaning however. As we
looked around us we noticed vast changes in our
school. Everything was different. Old standbys
such as Mrs. Fortune and Mr. Knight were gone
and Mr. Surma was no longer a harmless Biology
teacher but rather the Vice-Principal. There was
also a new vending company handling our busi¬
ness, promising us better service and food. An¬
other surprise was the construction on our gym
floor. After its eruption last year it was finally
being replaced. The biggest change of all was yet
to come. For this year only the second semester
started on January 21st placing finals after winter
break. Usually finals are the last two days before
vacation. Lastly, all of the clocks were synchro¬
nized and our heating and cooling systems
worked at the appropriate times of the year.
O.K.. that last statement was only a foolish wish
but it would be Novel. Seriously, it is truly a
novel year.

The year in fashion trends was a hodge-podge
of preppy and punk, classic and Ragstock styles.
U-High students dressed to express their individ¬
uality (or conformity!) and the result was a de¬
signer's paradise. Some of the most popular
items included Guess Jeans, Forenza sweaters,
twist beads, the Madonna look, neon accessor¬
ies the bob for girls, and the tail for all. Of
course, the old standbys were also popular, such
as t-shirts, oxfords, and Levi's.

The Odyssey
Many U-High groups traveled over the summer and during the school year to experience
new places and different things. Several students went to Japan, the band trekked to the New
Orleans World’s Fair, and adventure seekers flew to New York. Biology lovers had the
opportunity to study in Florida over spring break, and French students were invited to travel
abroad.
Of course, everyone returned with broadened horizons and many stories to tell. Japan s
visitors found the culture quite different, the band members discovered fun-in-the-sun (not to
mention the need for roach motels), and those who took a bite of the Big Apple decided it was
a great culinary experience. All in all, the various trips proved to be exciting and enlightening.

Let The Games Begin!
The dance on Saturday wrapped up the
week s festivities. Luckily, the rain didn’t
seem to dampen anyone’s spirits as the
couples danced to the music of “The
Spoons" from 8:30 to 11:30 pm. Corona¬
tion was held at 10:30. All in all, the
memories from this exciting week will be
"Forever Mine."

Gone With The Wind
A Song by Hans Damkoehler
University High School
Time—didn't know how fast you'd fly.
Four years have come and gone
ana we've grown you and I.
Friends—who we came to know,
Now different ways must go.
Tomorrow calls us all.
Dreams—we're ready now to seek.
Strong in our beliefs,
we're ready to go on.
Football games and papers due.
Could I borrow notes from you?
Songs to sing and shared class rings.
Teachers who gave many things.
Chemistry, Psychology, History you taught to me.
Thanks for it all.
English—Business, Math and Art.
Now we have a running start.
The plays have all been done.
Coach—did you know how hard we tried?
You filled us all with pride.
We loved you win or lose.
And Tears— that none of us could hide,
the day that Andy died.
Sometimes the good die young.
Track meets where the strong ran fast,
have now all been run.
The cheers have died, we laughed and cried.
The tests are ail done.
We've added memories one by one,
throughout the last four years.
But growing up means life must change.
So now the class of nineteen eight-five,
It’s time to go.

From One Extreme To Another
To repeat a cliched statement, I can’t believe we finally made
it. We’ve waited 4 long years to graduate, and now this year is
almost over. Looking back, I can honestly say senior year was the
best year of high school. During the past 9 months, the Senior
Class has become closer through involvement in various activi¬
ties.
Although special school-sponsored functions included Senior
Slave Day. Prom, Brunch, the Class trip to Great America, and
Class Night, there were many other fun activities in which the
seniors participated. There were parties celebrating each week¬
end s arrival, sunbathing marathons during lunch hours, and
endless Spring Break stories. While the year was undoubtedly
entertaining, it also had a serious side. It was time for seniors to
prepare for life on our own. These new responsibilities were
marked by the increase of employed students, and by May several
seniors had already moved into their own apartments. All too
soon, the members of the Class of 1985 will part. In the future we
will cherish the good moments, forget the bad, and fondly look
back on the memories of our years at U-Hich.

ACTORS’ SONNET
Within this year I will have left my home
To venture out and find what I should be.
111 follow my small river to the sea.
Abandoning the common; things well known
lo me. No more fairy tales of the gnome
And no more kisses for my skinned knee.
Sweet childhood with your laughter full of glee.
You are almost beyond the bright, bright moon.
But some adults are allowed to play.
They laugh and sing and skip about the place
With the spirit of a child, soul so new.
I see them play in night and sleep in day.
Oh, actors! As I ve heard you called, with faces
Alive and young, Permit me to join you!

I remember being horrified on August 1st, the registration day for the 1984-5 school year. I realized that school was
going to start in two weeks, and I felt unprepared. I recalled (uneasily) the times during the previous school year when I
had felt that going to U-High was like trying to help push a merry-go-round that was going too fast for me to keep up.
But I was a freshman then, I reminded myself, and I was glad to have that year over with, because I didn't consider it a
"blast."
Now that I was a fortnight from sophomoredom I decided that this was my chance to have a better year at U-High.
Some advantages to being a sophomore occurred to me even though it took me time to adjust to thinking that I wasn't
still a "frosh.”
As a sophomore, I was more familiar with how U-High works. I also felt more important because I had added
responsibility in clubs that I had already joined as a ninth grader. And just seeing a group of freshmen made me feel
older, more grown-up. I felt good when I realized that I could "get along" with some freshmen and be able to consider
some of them good friends who were nice to have around instead of limiting any solid friendships to just my
sophomore class.
All-in-all, I think that being a sophomore has not been a bonafide "blast" but it’s definitely been an improvement
over being a freshman. Instead of having feelings like I had to push a merry-go-round, I felt rather that I had jumped
on the merry-go-round. I like the wind in my hair, and even though I sometimes have become dizzy, I am still having a
good time.

With one-and-a-half semesters on
life at l’-High behind me, I feel great. I
have made a lot of new friends and
have met many people.
So far, I think that IJHS is a really
neat school. It offers its students op¬
portunities to expand their horizons in
any direction. Some people are more
interested in art than music, or in sci¬
ence rather than English; but because
we can choose which classes we want
to take (with the exception of required
courses), most of us have fun while
learning.
The last three quarters have been
full of firsts. This year's Homecoming
dance on October 20 was a first for me.
I thought it was great. I’ve also been to
the Welcome Back dance and the
Beach Party dance. I hope that there
are more dances in the future, and I’m
looking forward to Class Night.
So far, I think that ITIS is a really
great school. I’m glad I am a part of it.

At the beginning of the 84-85 school year. A

SCAR HD! This group of lost, insecure teenagers
are presently called "Frosh.' We re not scared
any more.
Being a freshman isn't as bad as most of us
thought it would be. The upperclassmen at U-
High, at least most of them, are really nice. Peo¬
ple treat us just like they treat people in their own

Our Unique Mission
The mission of University High School has been
generated, in part, through the College of Education
and serves as the philosophy of the school.
The prime thrust of University High School is to
provide our students with a meaningful and chal¬
lenging education of a comprehensive nature. Both
a sufficient size and the nature of the student popu¬
lation w ill be maintained at the appropriate levels to
perpetuate the comprehensive nature of UHS.
Another major task is to provide the College of
Education of ISU with a site in which University-
students can complete pre-service classroom exper¬
ience. The faculty of the laboratory schools work
closely with the faculty of other University depart¬
ments to achieve a synthesis of professional theory
and applied instructional practice. The result is a
demonstration school in which excellence in educa¬
tional theory and practice can be observed, studied,
and shared by pre-service teachers. Such a learning
center also serves as a proving ground where profes¬
sionals can selectively introduce innovative and al¬
ternative techniques and methods.
A third major function of U-High is to engage in
significant research and publication efforts, either in
conjunction with staff of other University depart¬
ments or in an independent setting. Faculty roles are
structured to foster scholarly productivity. It is im¬
perative that U-High teachers be involved in re¬
search projects.

Dear Students,
It was Friday
And the day was done.
The weekend let-up had begun.
A few students filtered through
the halls,
But my mind could not rest
at all.
I saw my class in 232.
I saw the faces of each one
of you
And of a hundred young people
more
Who have come and left
Through that same door.
1 thought of things I wanted
to say
When so many failed the test
today.
You know I think learning
can be fun
And that you're special
Each and everyone.
I have a dream for you and me
That we both learn and together
see
That there is a world of things
to know,
And together we can surely
grow.
If you'll but try,
Let’s meet halfway.
I do not want harsh words
to say,
But I do care
And when some don't try
I need to know the reasons why.
I need to know what I can do
To reach out for the best in you.
You need to know what joy
awaits
Those who love to learn.
Who, to "know" can't wait!
You need to know life's
mysteries
Are solved by those who
think and try
And not by those who whine
and cry.
It is not a sin to fall,
to stumble, or to fail,
But it is wrong to say “I can't,"
to grumble and to sigh,
For there's light in every one
of you
That could reach out for the sky.
This teacher wants to help
that spark
To find itself and learn to shine.
What greater seed can anyone
tend
Than a bright young human
mind?
But brightness and youth is
not enough
If our future is to be its best.
Teacher and students must both
really care
Together we can pass the test!
And in the process we might
learn
Some facts there are to know.
If we all care and care enough
There is no way
We can fail to grow.
Thinking of you —

1>S AND DOWNS
Under the helm of veteran I lead Coach
Frank Chiodo, now in his 22nd year, this
year’s gridders had their share of ups and
downs. As the players could probably tell
you they did not quite live up to this sea¬
son’s expectations.
As always, the games against Central
were the highlights of the season, but the
Pioneers suffered two disappointing
losses to the Saints. These disappoint¬
ments combined with the defeats handed
to us by Olympia, Clinton, and Peru St.
Bede all took their toll on everyone in¬
volved with this year’s squad.
The comradery between everyone in¬
volved this year made the season special.
The overwhelming wins over Minooka
and Chillicothe and the win over Pontiac
showed the real toughness of this year’s 1
varsity squad. The impressive Homecom¬
ing victory over the highly-touted Ma¬
homet-Seymour Bulldogs was by far the
best win of the year. The definite high¬
lights of this season clearly outweighed
the disappointing losses.
To sum up this hard fought football
season, there were many outstanding play¬
ers on this year’s squad. That was shown]
by the players who were nominated for
the All-Conference and All-Intercity
teams. I would just like to congratulate |
this year’s squad and w'ish good luck to i
them in the future.

Under the watchful eye of first-year
coach Gerry George, the U-High cross
country team put in long hours of run¬
ning each day and has to be proud of
its accomplishments. Led by under¬
classmen Mike Ashworth and Josh Fa-
vus, the harriers put together the best
dual meet record they have achieved in
years. Continual leadership by seniors
David Auth and Dave Kotarba helped
U-High place second in conference,
barely edging out an excellent Clinton
team.
Perhaps the highlight of the season
came in the sectional, where Mike Ash¬
worth placed in the top ten and then
proceeded to place 52nd in the State
meet. The pain of running three to five
miles per day in practice had paid off.
We should be proud of our team’s ac¬
complishment.

1 he l -High Soccer team, in it’s first year at the
Varsity level, began the year with confidence, and fin¬
ished it with many victories and unexpected accom¬
plishments. The team, under head coach Rudben
Horna. gained respect throughout the state. They fin¬
ished the season with an impressive 15-4-1 record, con¬
cluding the season with a heartbreaking loss in section¬
als.
During the regular season, the young Pioneers
gained experience through the rugged competition
they faced. They struggled in their first several games,
but as the season progressed, improvement was notice¬
able. as the team went 7-0-1 in their last eight games of
the regular season.
In post season play, l -High was seeded #1 in their
region, and swept through the tournament outscoring
their opponents 16 to 0. This put them into sectionals,
where they met Springfield High School. Four over¬
times later, with 3:08 left on the clock, Springield
scored, ending I’-High’s hopes for a state champion¬
ship.
Overall, the 1984 l -High soccer team did unexpect¬
edly well. With the returning talent, the 1985 season
promises to be an exciting and eventful year for all
involved.

Success?
Tennis got off to a great start this
year. We had three returning lettermen
and many new players. Several of our
players spent the summer at tennis
camp and came back with much im¬
provement. The tennis season had its
ups and downs. We were rained out of
many meets but no practices. We had
the opportunity to have our best sea¬
son in three years but we were rained
out of the game which would make it
possible. All-in-all we had a good
season and next year the team should
improve its record to four wins instead
of three. CS

Girls Advance
Contrary to popular belief, the girl's golf team is not one
of those easy-going school activities where the team
cruises around with caddies, golf carts and flexible score-
keepers. I he team puts in hard work, braves all types of
w-eather and faces up to tough challenges. The Pioneers
faltered during this past season, but came around in time
to advance the entire team to sectionals. Coach Bivans
looks to improve next year, hopefully getting more girls
involved in the sport.

Excellence
This year’s girls' swim team had an¬
other successful season. Coming off of
two consecutive undefeated dual meet
seasons put pressure on the team to do
well. With a satisfying dual meet re¬
cord of 7-3, the girls completed no
competition without challenging
themselves and their competitors.
With a strong finish of fourth at the
sectional meet. Coach Heffner sent
four girls to the state meet. They did
well.
Through hard work and desire to
achieve their goals, Heffner should be
able to lead her swimmers to yet an¬
other successful season.

Spikers Rebuild
This year's volleyball team, directed
by first year coach Lois Wisniewski
had their work cut out for them. Los¬
ing five seniors to graduation and hav¬
ing only one returning letterman, the
spikers relied heavily on underclass¬
men and spirit. Many sophomores and
freshmen found themselves bypassing
theJV level to play Varsity, with little
or no experience.
Unfortunately, the 2-18 record does
not reflect all of the close games, the
hard work, or the time that the girls
invested. The season did, however,
have its highpoint in a second-place tie
finish, beating Central Catholic in the
Intercity tournament.

Swimming
The U-High swim team had a very
successful season this year despite their
poor record of 2-8 the year before. The
combined efforts of each swimmer en¬
abled the team to pull a 7-2 record.
Highlights included John Ryan’s 10th
place finish in state. Other strong per¬
formers were David Hathway in the

Cagers Successful
With five returning members from
last year's squad, this year’s basketball
team played under the continual as¬
sumption that they should be as good
as last year’s team. After the first seven
games of the year however, many peo¬
ple had given up on the Pioneers’
chance at having a winning record.
With their only victory coming over
Tri-Valley in those first contests, the
future looked bleak for the Pioneers
and Coach Morris made some critical
line-up changes. His first major
changes were putting senior Dave Ko-
tarba into the point guard spot and
junior Steve Straub into the off guard
spot. Their consistent, steady play
helped keep the team under control in
"run and gun" situations.
Not to be overlooked was the tre¬
mendous play U-High received out of
center Tim Auth and players Dave Lit¬
tle, John Spears, and John Buscher.
Also contributing to the team were
guard Jeff Brumleve and forward
Blaise Jarecki. Ben Cottone, Kevin El¬
lis, and Mark Bryant could also be
counted on to come off the bench and
give their best effort.
U-High entered the Illinois State
Basketball Classic with one of the
worst records in the area, but after the
tournament was over, U-High had de¬
feated three teams to capture the third
place trophy. From there U-High won
16 out of its last 20 games and finished
with the best record in the Intercity.
They also defeated Central Catholic
three out of the four times the two
teams met. One of those victories came
in the Octavia Regional, where the Pio¬
neers defeated Octavia in the first
round and Central in the second. In the
Regional Championship the Pioneers
lost to a strong Gridley team and their
season came to a close, finishing with
an 18-11 record.

A senior-dominated club took to the
mats as representatives of the 1984-85 U-
High wrestling team. Coached by Dave
Gannaway and asst. Jack Eddy, the Pio¬
neers fought to a 10-9*2 dual meet record.
The team flashed brilliance at times dur¬
ing the season, for example the western
Quincy trip, where state ranked Hamilton
High awaited the pioneers. Hamilton
proved no match for the enthusiastic Pio¬
neers as they fell, 44-13 before UHS ripped
through the host school, Quincy Notre
Dame, 47-18.
U-High finished the wrestling season
with a strong showing at the tough Clin¬
ton regional, advancing six to sectionals.
Derek Auth was the lone Pioneer to ad¬
vance to state and wrestled great, placing
second.

This year’s track squad was very successful. Their
dual meet record was 7-2, and they earned 1st place at
the Eureka Invitational and 3rd in the Intercity. The
team also earned 1st place at the Sectional meet. David
Little, Scott Kroll, Mike Walls, Geoff Schoonover,
Josh Favus, and Mike Ashworth earned births in the
State meet in their respective events. With such a young
team, they should be successful in the future also.

Boy’s Golf
The 1984 varsity boy’s golf team over¬
stepped its expected bounds this year by
placing fifth in the class A state meet. At
the team’s final meeting, Coach Jim Scott
seemed to be pleased with his team’s per¬
formance as a whole. Scott was also
pleased with the way the team was able to
come oft bad matches and produce good
scores the next day.
Captain Steve Hettick gave the strong
leadership that the team needed, taking
into consideration the majority of the
team was made up of underclassmen. Ju¬
nior Doug Methner and freshman Bob
Kauth were awarded with MVP honors
because of their consistent performance.
This outstanding Golf season yielded a
10-3-1 record and hope for future years of
success for boy’s golf at U-High.

Softball Success
The 1985 Girls' Softball team was quite
successful this season. Although the 6-13 re¬
cord doesn't reflect the close games or the
juries suffered, the team still had some great
accomplishments. First, they won more than
three games which is better than any team in
the past five years has done. Then, after losing
nine straight games they came back to win
three in a row and even managed a victory
against Lexington in the regional tourna-
ment.
Lven though Coach Gannaway is leaving
next year to take a coaching position at ISU,
the girls are looking forward to a winning
season next year. All they need is three girls to
replace graduating seniors Linda Muenchow,
Kristie Sullivan who was voted most im¬
proved, and Marsha Robinson who was elect¬
ed MVP. LJM/KISS

Baseball is an unpredictable sport, and U-
Highs 1985 team accomplished several unex¬
pected teats. Despite a 9-14 overall record, the Pio¬
neers proved themselves by tying for second in
the conference. Coach Scott and the Pioneers
can be proud of the season, a year when each and
every individual contributed.

Girls Track
Although girls track had more
people out this year than in the past,
the majority were underclassmen
with little experience.
Being a young team, we had few
victories, but the team gained much
valuable experience, which should
aid them in the years that follow.
Besides having many underclass¬
men, we had many returning letter-
men who missed much of the season
due to broken feet and illnesses. Next
year, with more experience and less
injuries, we hope to improve our re¬
cord and advance members to state.

High Spirit for JV
This year's Junior Varsity teams
showed much promise for the future
of U-High athletics. The excellent play
of the Sophomore basketball team will
be in contention in a few years. Frosh
B-Ball and the JV girls B-Ball also
showed great athletic ability by the de¬
termination that they exhibited.
All future athletes should want to
follow the presidence shown by the
varsity athletics to be the best they can
be. U-High athletics' has earned a lot
of respect over the past lew years and
will earn even more by the success of
this year's fine Junior Varsity boy’s and
girl’s teams.

POETRY
Poetry holds a special place in my heart.
It’s a way of expressing feelings.
It's a form of art.
It's funny, it’s sad.
It’s what you want it to be.
And all my poetry
is a part of me. (P. McBride)
IF YOU WISH TO

Just when I had mounted

it throws me

The activities ot the Science Club were both
enjoyable and educational. The club hosted a
speaker series covering a variety of subjects
including scuba diving, black holes, and am¬
phibians. An expert invited by the Science
Club would share interesting aspects on a top¬
ic. Audiences at these presentations were able
to acquire familiarity with specific areas of
science.
The Science Club set up field trips for any
interested students such as scuba diving in
Florida and a Chicago trip to visit the Field
Museum, Chicago’s Academy of Sciences, and
Lincoln Park Conservatory.
This year the Science Club sponsor was
Mrs. Grogg, and the officers are Pat McGuire,
president; Stefani Hagglund, secretary; and
Marian Spakowski. publicity officer.

Group Interpretation
As that day rolled near, we never
thought that we would have it polished.
Regionals for Group Interpretation were
on Saturday; here it was Friday and we
were goofing off. Nevertheless, the cast of
"J.B." by Archibald Macheish, directed by
Renee Reiss, pulled it off; we won third
place and advanced to Sectionals, where
we stopped at fourth place.
"J.B.’’ is a modern-day version of the
biblical Job. It is about a God-fearing man
named J.B. who is the target of a test of
faith between God and Satan. Satan has
J.B.’s children killed off one by one in an
attempt to make J.B. curse God, which he
never does. There is a dramatic scene be¬
tween J.B. and his wife, Sarah, in which
she announces that if he doesn’t curse
God she will leave him. He won’t and she
does. Finally J.B. repents, causing Satan to
lose the "battle” and J.B. gets all of his
property, his health, his wife, and his chil¬
dren back and God wins.
For her outstanding performance as
Sarah, Jennifer Sutton earned a place on
both All-Regional Cast and All-Sectional
Cast.

Class Night 1985
The teachers started off the evening of the
24th of May with their somewhat amusing
rendition of Rock-n-RolI High School. Then,
the people who really had class, the Seniors,
took over.
"The Wizard of Oz," the 1985 Class Night
presentation, was a great success. After a little
over a week of practicing, no one would have
believed the production would have gone
over so well. The story, narrated by Mr. Rod¬
gers (Jeff Taylor) sent Dorothy, Paul Gaddy
and Mr. Victor on a journey through the land
of North Central, alias U-High. Along the
Trash Trail Road they ran across the Frosh-
kins, a faculty meeting, and that nasty Junior
crowd. In the end our heroes found that some
things will never change but, there's no place
like U-High.
Alter the skit, wills were read. This was a
lowpoint in the evening as some Seniors saw
it fit to add some unapproved wills. That
problem was soon cleared up and the festivi¬
ties continued with the class song Changes
by David Bowie. The song seemed to sum up
the Seniors’ feelings and unite them into a
whole class. The Seniors then handed out the
class gifts and passed on the Lamp of Knowl¬
edge to the Class of '86.
The moving up of classes as Mr. Briggs
and students sang the Alma Mater was a truly
moving experience. The Seniors left the audi¬
torium for the last time and the incoming
Freshmen took their rightful seats in the
Freshman section.
After the moving up of classes students
congregated in the lounge to boogie to the
beat of Vicious Circle at the traditional dance
sponsored by the Freshman Class.

The Yearbook Story
Every fall the Clarion seems to magically appear. Effortlessly, students claim their books and subsequently old memories are relived. But
for most, after a few weeks the yearbooks are forgotten and put away until they start to feel a little nostalgic. This is "the yearbook story” for
the majority of U-High students. However, the Clarion, our yearbook, means much more to a small group of half-crazed-and-approaching-
insane students who refer to themselves as The Clarion Staff. You can find these true patriots laboring over your magical yearbooks during
the regularly scheduled Wednesday night meetings or more frequently they have been spotted scurrying between rooms at all-day Saturday
meetings, trying desperately to finalize pages for a deadline. Many times they can be heard calling after their beloved sponsor Mrs. Clesson or
in the worst cases, some truly desperate workers have been known to escape her wrath with a most necessary trip to the vending machines
which takes at least 45 minutes.
Who are these people shrouded in this cloud of mystery? Where do they come from and why do they do it? Well, we are. We, the Editors-
in-Chief, deal with the magical book. We live it. We come from the Senior hallway but originated from the depths of the third floor and we
put out the Clarion because we are totally brainless. Why else would we get involved with this 130 page monster? The above has solved one
major misconception about the yearbook. It is not magic nor is it created by the Artesians, although we aren't saying whether they helped us
on the grounds of incriminating ourselves. But seriously, besides the aggravation of an unreliable staff (including ourselves) the Clarion is a
good time.
We now would like to take this time to thank several people who were instrumental in putting out the 1985 Clarion. Thank-yous go to our
sponsor Mrs. Clesson who always seemed to get things going,John Buscher and Rembrant for the supply of pictures, and of course to the B-
52’s for helping us to retain our sanity with their insanity.
One question remains unanswered. Who will put out the ’86 Clarion? It is not a "Seniors Only” activity and judging from contributions on
behalf of the juniors this year the underclassmen will have to take charge. After all, it is a great excuse to get together w-ith your friends, occa¬
sionally skip a class and to put your picture in the yearbook a multitude of times. KISS
Your Friendly Editors-in-Chief,
Krista Stearns, Maureen McAllister,
and Cara Stearns

Brave New World
Current
Events
The '84-’85 school year was full of exciting
news stories of truly stellar proportions. I he
most far out item is that of the space shuttle
missions. For the first time men walked in space
without lifelines. Also, satellites were retrieved,
repaired, and reorbited into their paths. Mean¬
while, back on Earth, the world was not idle.
India saw the death of leader Indira Ghandi,
Gorbachev replaced Chernenko in the Kremlin,
and ISU students were rioting against the crack¬
down on student parties. On a lighter side there
was a new royal baby born to Charles and Lady
Di, Lotto fever hit Illinois as the pot grew to over
40 million dollars, and Bloomington had a new
lingerie shop which advertised live models.
The biggest story of the year on the national
level was of course, the presidential election. The
Democrats pitted Walter Mondale against in¬
cumbent Ronald Reagan. While George Bush
was not a surprise running mate for Mr. Reagan,
Mr. Mondale astonished voters by choosing
Geraldine Ferraro for his running mate. This was
a bold tactic since a woman had never run for
this office before.
Locally headlines were made during the Da¬
vid Hendrick trial. The Bloomington man was
found guilty of the ax murders of his wife and
three children in his home in 1983.
The most touching story of the year was the
plight of the Ethiopians who were starving due
to the effects of a severe drought that has hit
much of Africa. The entire world reached out to
these people by donating food, money, time, and
even talent in the case of groups such as USA for
Africa. USA for Africa is a huge group of rock
singers who joined forces to create an album and
hit single whose revenues went to alleviate the
famine in Africa.
